The verdict

No ban on any organisation was found. The legislature passed the Karnataka Hate Speech and Hate Crimes (Prevention) Bill, 2025 in December 2025; the Governor reserved it for the President's assent, so it is not yet law. Provisional rating.

Rule applied: In progress: deadline not reached; rating is provisional and not counted in the final score
